I found Ashley Jade, the owner and creative behind The Jade Plot, through a friend on Instagram. When I saw her work, I instantly fell in love with her raw, botanical aesthetic. On a whim, I messaged her to see if she would be willing to drive four hours from Seattle to meet me at La Push Beach for a styled collaborative shoot and she instantly agreed. When she arrived at the beach and showed me what she had brought for our shoot, I was immediately inspired; I was in awe of the bouquet and flower crown that she created and the vintage suitcase and crystal ball she brought as props were the perfect details to bring the shoot to the next level. I was in artistic heaven! After shooting at La Push, we decided to keep our creative vibes flowing and continue our shoot at the Hoh Rain Forest in Olympic National Park. After the soft, romantic mood that we captured on the beach, we took advantage of the enchanting charm and deep greens of the rainforest to achieve a magical, bewitching vibe for our second look. I can say that collaborating with Ashley was one of the most creatively inspiring experiences of my life. Ashley has such an artistic and beautiful soul and I feel so lucky to have met and collaborated with her. We came together as two complete strangers to create something beautiful, and we left as friends. I'm excited to share what we created together. Take a look below!
